New housing facility coming to Fort Stewart

FORT STEWART, Ga. (WTOC) - A new housing facility is coming to Fort Stewart.

The project comes after years of what’s been called a “housing crisis” within on-base units.

The new project is part of a $100 million authorization, announced by U.S. Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff on Tuesday. The new housing facility will accommodate over 370 soldiers.

This comes after a nation-wide problem. According to the Military Family Advisory Network, tens of thousands of complaints were reported nation-wide.

Those complaints include maintenance repairs, mold, and structural concerns.

Housing improvements at Fort Benning and Fort Gordon are also being discussed.
